SubjectKernel Panic
Yesterday I awoke to a crashed linux system. The first time in almost 2 
years on the same system. I have not added any hardware or software, that
I know of, to cause this.

The error is

kernel panic skpush: under 001407b8:13340884 in swapper
task - not syncing

I rebooted and it happenned again 3 or 4 hours later. I then turned off
swap and did a mkswap on the swap partition and rebooted. It failed again
this morning after 15 hours.

I had a cron job running that did nothing but save the results of free
and uptime and do a sync every 5 minutes. Looking at the last one before
failure yields no strange results. Loads were near 0 and memory was about
the same as always. Very little of swap (as usual) is used. I have 32M of
RAM and a 40M swap. The system is a Pentium 120. I updated the kernel
many months ago from 1.3.68 to 2.0.30 without problems. The system had
been very stable. It is SCSI no IDE. I am assuming this error means swap
memory but it may have nothing to do with that.

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. This could be just a memory
or drive failure but I have no reason to believe that.
